What makes you a competent and qualified candidate?
I have been working at Newcomb Hall for the past two years, right across from the StudCo offices.In essence, this is just a move across the hall for me, a natural progression. I was also student employee of the month.
In your opinion, what are the most pressing issues facing the University and how would you use your office to deal with them?
I think that StudCo has lost touch with the people themselves. I mean, how many people really know everything that goes on in there?I don't.By running, I hope to regenerate interest in student self-representation once again. After all, I am a man of the people.
How will you maintain contact with your constituency and ensure transparency in your actions?
A message to the people: We will talk.
Why did you decide to run for office?
I believe that life is about the experience and that that experience should be fun.Student Council should be fun.Let's have fun.
